The Rolex Daytona collection, first launched in 1963 as a sporty and elegant chronograph, has a long history. Watches in this series are available in two-tone gold, rose gold and stainless steel, especially the stainless steel models are very popular even in the second-hand market, and some extraordinary styles are more popular among collectors and connoisseurs.

 

In 2013, the 50th anniversary of the replica Rolex Daytona Chronograph, Rolex launched the platinum version Daytona 116506, with a unique chocolate ceramic bezel and ice blue dial, and the most impressive is —— the weight is 286 grams! It's quite a heavy weight, and you can see that the real materials are put into it. Note that this is the first time that Rolex Daytona has used 950 platinum, the most noble material. In the past, the precious metal in Daytona only had white gold, rose gold and yellow gold. Maybe Rolex thinks only platinum is worthy of the 50th anniversary.

 

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116506 still retains a 40mm size instead of the larger 42mm case everyone expected. Although the 42 mm size will be more fashionable and conquer new markets, for Rolex, first, not to follow the trend; secondly, it is not insignificant to launch a new size. This model has an all 950 platinum case, and even the Oyster bracelet is all platinum for solid quality.

 

This Rolex Daytona116506 still uses the 4130 chronograph movement. Since its inception in 2000, the 4130 has garnered a lot of fame and has become the most famous automatic chronograph movement in modern times. The platinum version of Rolex Daytona 116506 is a unique combination of immortal precious metals and unique colors to commemorate Daytona's 50th anniversary.
